DO YOU HAVE TO REMOVE INTAKE MANIFOLD TO REPLACE EXHAUST
What part of the exhaust do you want to replace? If it is the exhaust manifold gasket, usually you don't need to touch intake, but it can be one of the most frustrating jobs if you haven't got the right tools. The right tools can twist and turn in the right places. If you haven't got the right tools , it can be easier to take both manifolds off to do job properly. More time to take intake manifold off , but less time in long run as you can access manifold/head surfaces if you haven't got right tools.

Not 100% sure but if you look up under exhaust manifold area, on block,is usually a common place. Simple hex head plug into block on most. Are you sure just pulling lower rad hose, and thermostat housing off won't get you where you need to be?

Yes. You should be able to replace it without removing the intake manifold. The bolts are very hard to reach, but it can be done with the proper set of sockets and universal joint extensions. I know it looks impossible. If in doubt, take it to a reputable repair shop. Don't let anybody charge you for intake manifold removal.
